| Database Configuration |
Database Configuration
While many InvenTree options can be configured at "run time", there are a number of system configuration parameters which need to be set before running InvenTree. Admin users will need to adjust the InvenTree installation to meet the particular needs of their setup. For example, pointing to the correct database backend, or specifying a list of allowed hosts.
InvenTree system settings can be specified either in a configuration file, or via environment variables.
!!! info "Environment Variables" Settings specified using environment variables take priority. Values provided in the configuration file are ignored if a matching environment variable is present.
Environment Variables
In addition to specifying InvenTree options via the config.yaml file, these options can also be specified via environment variables. This can be usful for system administrators who want the flexibility of altering settings without editing the configuration file.
- Environment variable settings use the
INVENTREE_prefix, and are all uppercase. - Config file settings do not use this prefix, and are all lowercase
!!! info "Configuration Priority"
Configuration options set via environment variables will take priority over the values set in the config.yaml file.
!!! warning "Available Variables" Some configuration options cannot be set via environment variables. Refer to the documentation below.
Configuration File
To support install specific settings, a simple configuration file config.yaml is provided. This configuration file is loaded by the InvenTree server at runtime. Settings specific to a given install should be adjusted in config.yaml.
The default InvenTree config file is located at ./InvenTree/config.yaml
!!! tip "Configuration File Location"
The config file can be placed elsewhere, and specified with the INVENTREE_CONFIG_FILE environment variable.
A configuration file template can be found on GitHub
!!! info "Template File" The default configuration file (as defined by the template linked above) will be copied to the specifed configuration file location on first run, if a configuration file is not found in that location.
Basic Options
The following basic options are available:
| Environment Variable | Configuration File | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| INVENTREE_DEBUG | debug | Enable debug mode | True |
| INVENTREE_LOG_LEVEL | log_level | Set level of logging to terminal | WARNING |
| INVENTREE_TIMZONE | timezome | Server timezone | UTC |

!!! info "Administrator Account"
Providing INVENTREE_ADMIN credentials will result in the provided account being created with superuser permissions when InvenTree is started.
Secret Key
InvenTree requires a secret key for providing cryptographic signing - this should be a secret (and unpredictable) value.
The secret key can be provided in multiple ways, with the following (descending) priorities:
Pass Secret Key via Environment Variable
A secret key string can be passed directly using the environment variable INVENTREE_SECRET_KEY
Pass Secret Key File via Environment Variable
A file containing the secret key can be passed via the environment variable INVENTREE_SECRET_KEY_FILE
Fallback to Default Secret Key File
If not specified via environment variables, the fallback secret_key file (automatically generated as part of InvenTree installation) will be used.
| Environment Variable | Configuration File | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| INVENTREE_SECRET_KEY | secret_key | Raw secret key value | Not set |
| INVENTREE_SECRET_KEY_FILE | secret_key_file | File containing secret key value | Not set |
Database Options
InvenTree provides support for multiple database backends - any backend supported natively by Django can be used.
Database options are specified under the database heading in the configuration file. Any option available in the Django documentation can be used here - it is passed through transparently to the management scripts.

File Storage Locations
Static File Storage
By default, static files are stored in the local directory /home/inventree/static. This directory should be changed by specifying the static_root option in the config file based on the particular installation requirements.
Alternatively this location can be specified with the INVENTREE_STATIC_ROOT environment variable.
Uploaded File Storage
By default, uploaded media files are stored in the local directory /home/inventree/media. This directory should be changed by specifying the media_root option in the config file based on the particular installation requirements.
Alternatively this location can be specified with the INVENTREE_MEDIA_ROOT environment variable.
Authentication
InvenTree provides allowance for additional sign-in options. The following options are not enabled by default, and care must be taken by the system administrator when configuring these settings.
Single Sign on
SSO backends for all required authentication providers need to be added to the config file as a list under the key social_backends. The correct backend-name can be found in django-allauths configuration documentation.
If the selected providers need additional settings they must be added as dicts under the key social_providers. The correct settings can be found in the django-allauths provider documentation.
!!! warning "You are not done" SSO still needs credentials for all providers and has to be enabled in the global settings!
